Chapter 4627: 5.0379 Asking for Trouble

"Aunt-Master, I have no expression!" The Little Stoic replied innocently.

Qin Nitian: …

"Exactly, it's precisely because you have no expression that it's wrong!" Qin Nitian indignantly reached out her two small hands and kneaded the Little Stoic's small face. "Haven't I told you before?! A young girl shouldn't be naturally stoic and gloomy. You should smile!"

Qiao Mu twitched the corner of her mouth, then suddenly wrapped her arms around her Aunt-Master, giving a forceful kiss on her messy hair. "Aunt-Master, it's so good to see you."

Little Nitian, a bit exasperated, pushed away with her small hands: "Quickly put your Aunt-Master down; this is unseemly."

Qiao Mu chuckled, holding her. Just as she reached the door, she heard a sinister voice. "Little girl, I have already done as you instructed. So now… shouldn't you fulfill your promise?"

The old man's sneering laughter abruptly broke the calm, and everyone instantly looked up, turning in unison to see Master Mou Yang entering from the doorway. This master seemed to be in a rather good mood, radiating a sense of excitement tinged with gloom. It appeared his task was complete.

"Oh, where's the person I wanted?"

The old man smiled, shrugging. "The person escaped on a small boat about half an hour ago."

"This isn't me failing the mission; it's Hall Master Mu being too clever. As soon as you appeared, this little girl, she anticipated you were coming to cause her trouble."

Qiao Mu coldly swept her gaze over Mou Yang. "She escaped. You didn't complete the mission, and yet you dare to come before me to claim credit? You're truly laughable, Master."

The old man's eyes flared in anger, revealing a vortex of greed in his gaze. "Do you think you still have any choice now?"

Mou Yang sneered, "You can only choose now to hand over that black Divine Domain bead and assist me in contracting it."

"Furthermore… you should have other personal divine domains that can integrate into your body, right?"

"Little Treasure, who is this old scoundrel?" Little Nitian suddenly spoke, her eyes cold as she stared at the blustering old thing in front of her. Didn't he think himself ridiculous? He dared to openly threaten and intimidate Little Treasure in front of her, Qin Nitian. It seemed this old scoundrel had no idea where he stood.

The Little Stoic's eyes lit up, and she obediently replied, "This elder is a Formation Master. It's this elder who laid down the Spirit-Shielding Grand Formation on this ship."

"As soon as I entered it, my consciousness was locked. My inner world couldn't be opened, and I couldn't even take out food. I'm almost starving to death now!"

Qin Nitian's brow furrowed a bit more with each sentence the Little Stoic spoke.

"Originally, I traded with him using the Heart of Misfortune, asking him to bring my enemy, Mu Qingya, over."

"Unexpectedly, this elder not only failed to complete the mission but also directly came to me to demand payment."

"I ask you, is there such a principle anywhere in this world?"

Master Mou Yang's face was grim as he stared coldly at Qiao Mu. "Little girl, do you know your consciousness is locked? If so, why aren't you obedient? You still dare…"

Bang! A burst of light suddenly erupted, like a halo, exploding in front of Mou Yang. Even though Mou Yang was quick to escape, he couldn't completely block the aerial strike from Her Excellency Qin Nitian. Mou Yang's entire body recoiled seventeen or eighteen steps backward.
